At its May 13 meeting, the Janesville School District Board of Education completed an annual reorganization and approved routine agenda items in unanimous votes.
The board elected Commissioner Kevin Murray as president by voice vote. Lisa Herta was elected vice president, Elizabeth Paul was named clerk and Greg Ardery was chosen treasurer. Each election was decided by a unanimous board vote (6–0).
The board also voted to adopt the meeting agenda and to approve the consent agenda, both by unanimous voice votes. Later in the meeting the board approved its 2025–26 meeting schedule, again by unanimous vote.
Board members noted that the reorganization establishes leadership for the coming year, including upcoming bargaining work. A board member said Commissioner Susan Johnson and Lisa Herta have agreed to join a negotiating team, with a third board member to participate as well; the board indicated the team will begin work when negotiations start.
The reorganization and routine approvals were completed before the meeting moved to updates on facilities, curriculum and committee reports.
